There are just some things in my life that no matter how many times I do them...
No matter how they are an everyday part of my life...
No matter how mundane they may seem...
They just never ever get old!
For example take baking bread. I do it twice a week, every week, rain or shine...52 weeks a year (well except on vacation...which I would like to take btw...somewhere that isn't raining...but that is another post!)
Yet every time I open the oven and see those fresh loaves and smell that heavenly scent I smile and think...
I love this! I just love to bake bread!
I also love to see what the loaves my children make will look like each time...nothing everyday about this...
Then there is my garden. Even though every year I plant my seeds, even though every year they come up I am still amazed and awed by the wonder of this process.
And to nurture the plants till harvest and eat food grown from your own land is beyond cool!
And of course there is this...
As many years as I've had kids (24 and counting) having little ones underfoot will never get old for me. I am not one to want them to take the next step or get to the next stage...no I'm one of those moms that still call her baby her 2 year old up until the hour he was born on his 3rd birthday!
No this will never ever get old for me!
There are a few things in my life that no matter how many times I do them they will never lose their magic...
- Holding a newborn and smelling that sweet baby smell...heaven!
- Pulling a clean white sheet of paper down from the shelf and knowing that there are few things with more potential than that blank piece of paper.
- Bringing a basket of fresh produce in from the garden and knowing that this will be the best salad I've ever made!
- Opening my fabric closet and dreaming up what I will make next!
- Putting my camera around my neck and just knowing that there is something wonderful in my day that I will want to capture for all time!
- Opening my blog each day and knowing that someone will leave something that will make me smile or laugh or ponder...
So what about you?
What is there in your life that will never ever get old...something that you will never tire of?
